Britannia International Hotel
Britannia International Hotel is a mid-range hotel in London's Tower Hamlets district, specifically in the Canary Wharf area. The building offers around 530 rooms in various categories, from standard rooms to suites with separate living areas, many with views over the Docklands or city skyline.
The hotel was built in the 1990s and was among the first hotels in the Canary Wharf area as the district transformed from an old port into a modern business centre. It has established itself as a reliable destination for business travelers and tourists since then, though the interior design has remained largely unchanged.
The hotel sits in the Canary Wharf business district, an area that reflects the transformation of former docks into a modern financial hub. Visitors can experience this mix of historic waterside areas and contemporary office towers in the immediate surroundings.
The hotel enjoys excellent location with several Underground stations within walking distance, including Canary Wharf, Heron Quays, and South Quay, all in zone 2. Travel time to central London is less than 30 minutes, for example to London Bridge in 6 minutes or to Bond Street in around 15 minutes.
The hotel is notable for retaining an outdated interior style with gold fittings and chandeliers from an earlier era, giving the modern building an unexpected character. This juxtaposition of old-fashioned decor within a contemporary structure makes it a visually memorable experience for visitors.
